Any melon, gourd, or even most vine-based flowers I really recommend a simple automated irrigation mechanism especially in a hot climate because they are thirsty.
My dad grew tomatoes, loufas, and those decorative gourdes you turn into bird houses.
I can grow my own loufas!? The scratchy kind? Wait. Aren’t they sea creatures?

Tbh, I’d grow them myself except
